New picture of the Wang group!

In collaboration with Nishiyama and Xu groups, we combined the use of solid-state NMR and X-ray to determine the structural organizations of cellulose, xylan, and lignin in wheat straw and provide a unified model. #nmrchat @MSUChem @MSUNatSci

First time at #Fungal26. Great to finally meet many long-time collaborators in person. Isha gave a talk on Aspergillus cell wall and stress adaptation, and Tuo gave two talks on zygosporic fungi and antifungal-induced remodeling.

Check out new article @PLOSPathogens on the use of solid-state NMR got understand fungal cell wall structure and antifungal response. doi.org/10.1371/journa…

New review article on the solid-state NMR stuidies of fungal and plant cell walls @TheCellSurface. #nmrchat Thanks @neil_gow for highlighting the article. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Happy to host a booth at the Chemistry Day event for demonstrating the beauty of biochemistry, NMR, microbes, and plants to kids in Lansing area.

A new collaborative study on Green Chem using solid-state NMR to differentiateg xylan hydrolysis behaviours and identify novel lignin bond cleavage and condensation pathways. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Our new perspective @CellRepPhysSci regarding how NMR-based structural insight could possibly guide future utilization of lignocellulose and plant materials. cell.com/cell-reports-p…

The Wang Group had an inspiring time at the Midwest Carbohydrate & Glycobiology Symposium @UToledo! Grateful for insightful discussions and proud of our members @Ankur and Kalpana who earned Best Oral and Poster Awards! 👏

Using solid-state NMR, our team identified the mysterious function of Kre6 in #Aspergillus. Data show that beta-1,6-glucan is only synthesized in conidia, instead of mycelia, of A. fumigatus. #mycology #NMRchat journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms…

Join us on Thursday for the first #MycoTalks of Season 6 with talks from Angie Gelli and Tuo Wang @TuoWangLab 🗓️ Thursday 25 September 🕓 16:00 (UK time) 📍 Online – open to all! 🔗 Register now to secure your spot: Universityofexeter.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Tuo Wang Research Group is seeking a postdoctoral coworker. Experience with solid-state NMR, solution NMR, or DNP is preferred. The position is available immediately. Please contact Tuo by email if you have interest. Position immediately available. #nmrchat

Our new study @NatureComms: Solid-state NMR reveals the evolving pattern of lignin-polysaccharide interactions along Arabidopsis infloresence stems as a function of developmental stage. #nmrchat #PlantBiology @MSUChem @MSUNatSci #Sec8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nature.com/articles/s4146…

Another new study using 1H solid-state NMR methods for rapidly assessing polysaccharide-lignin interactions using intact plant cells. #nmrchat #glycotime @MSUChem Now in Anal Chem. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Check out our latest publication on High-resolution analysis of Lignin-polysaccharides interactions through Proton-detection methods published in Analytical Chemistry. Congratulations to Peng and Subba! @TuoWangLab pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

We are grateful for a new NSF-MCB grant, which will support our efforts over the next four years to develop ¹H-detected solid-state NMR methods specifically tailored for carbohydrate structure determination. @MSUChem

Our new study @angew_chem: solid-state NMR and DNP enable the resolution of five distinct types of α-glucans involved in capsule anchoring, melanin hosting, and packing with chitin microfibrils in Cryptococcus. #nmrchat @MSUChem @MRCcmm onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Check out our new study @PNASNews: Solid-state NMR reveals that two α-amylase-like enzymes drives α-glucan network formation in the fission yeast S. pombe. @PomBase #nmrchat @MSUChem @Gould_Lab pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Happy to share that I have been promoted to professor on July 1. Thanks my collegaues for your support. I will strive for greater contributions to both science and my academic home in the years ahead. @MSUChem
